LONDON : SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 11, 1938. What we yesterday stated would be the case, took place last night in the House of Lords. The parties com promised their differences on the Canada Bill, or rather the Ministers announced that they would accept it, proposing some modifications, which they in fact withdrew, and have agreed to pass the Bill through the House of Com mons. So ends, we think, the magnificent Vice- Royalty of the Earl of DURHAM. Lord MELBOURNE repeated last night that he thought their Lordships had struck a severe blow at all authority, and we agree with Lord MELBOURNE. The facts of the case, as they appear to the unlearned piiblic here, and probably will appear to the same class of person.; in Canaria, ere simply these Lord DURHAM was selected for his character and his high rank as a statesman to undertake the task of pacifying I and settling Canada. Ills acceptance of the office was considered as a sacrifice on his part, which he made, banish ing himself to an ungenial climate, and' to a scene of toil ' and trouble, out of a sense of duty, and in com pliance with the wish of the highest Person in the land. He went, it was generally supposed, armed with very great powers ; for the Ministerial Journals had enough to do to repel the attacks which were made on the arbitrary, ex tensive, and unconstitutional Act which lie was to be en trusted to execute. No person, we believe, attempted to excuse cr defend the granting of those powers, except as a matter of stern necessity ; and it was alleged on the side of the Ministerialists that the character of the Noble Earl was a full and sufficient guarantee that those powers would not be abused. The Bill was, in fact, strenuously re sisted because it conftsrred those powers ; and yet so profound was the impression that they were necessary, and were given to the fullest extent, that the Noble Lord who most strenuously opposed the Bill, deprecated sending Lord DURHAM to Canada with mutilated powers, which might render his task hopeless. If ever an impression was general in the public, it was that Lord DURHAM went to Canada armed with the most extraordinary powers that ever were entrusted to an individual acting un der the authority of the British Legislature. No sooner, however, does Lord DURHAM arrive in Canada, than his acts are questioned here. So impatient are the Peers to take back the authority, if it were granted, or to demonstrate, it if it were not, that it still remainsin their bands, that they throw doubts on the very first important act lie performs, discuss its propriety, and end by virtually setting it aside. Thus the people, both here and in Canada, who were taught by the orators and writers of both par ties to believe Lord DURHAM almost omnipotent, are at once convinced that his power i 3 a mere phantom, and be as insignificant. except that he lives in a little more state, as an Irish stipendiary trrigistratc. If no trap were set for Lord Dean AM, as has Lem said, there has been a large one fur the public, into which they have fallen. The first step be took having been set aside by the Peers, who shall convince the people here and in Canada, that his second and third steps arc not also illegal ? Nothing he does, or can do, will be corriclered valid or deserving of confidence in Canada, till it has received the sanction of the House of Peers. The people will look, not to Lord DURHAM, but to Westminster. The Houses of Parliament have constituted themselves the Executive Government of Cana da ; and Lord DUP.HA )4, if he retain his power, which we feel confident he will not one post day after the news of last night's - proceedings rsachts Quebec, will be the mere tool or instrument of the British Parliament. Now, to have such great authority as was supposed to be confided to Lord DURHAM at once overthrown, is certainly a severe blow at all authority. It unfortunately happens that the Assembly which has struck the blow is itself a much - decried authority. Here, in England and in Ireland, the Parliament, and particularly the House of Peers, is far from being highly honoured—in the Canadas, we apprehend, it is rather contemned and des.. pised. The Houses of Parliament cannot establish their own authority in Canada ; nor can they make the laws, which in fact have already been completely set aside by both parties, respected there. They have been in force, and have been complained of and overruled. The Ministers have been rudely shaken by the Peers ; Lord DURHAM'S power is thrown prostrate, and we see nothing which is or can be substituted in its place. If the troubles are not revived in Canada ; if M. PANNE Au and the Republicans be not encouraged, by these conflicts between authorities demonstrating their weakness, once more to assert their own opinions, and en deavour to e stablish their own powers, it will certainly not be from the vigour with which the Peers have inspired the Executive and have supported Lord DURHAM. It will be at once a question, we suppose, who is to be his Lordship's successor? Who will undertake the task o f governing that distant and disturbed colony, subject to the supervision of the Tory Peers? All the persons implicated in, the affair of Timm have now been found guilty, and sentence of death was passed on them, while they were at the same time assured that the sentence was a mere mock ceremony, and would not be carried into effect. Their Counsel, finding it hopeless to contend against the law as laid down by the Loan CHIEF JUSTICE, advised them not to attempt any de fence, and they merely called witnesses to cha racter. So we suppose ends this lamentable tragedy, as far as the tribunals of the country are concerned. The Parliament has instituted no inquiry into the conduct of the Justices, the Courts have not gone out of the deposi tions, and the deluded and suffering people are alone branded as guilty. If we considered hanging an appropriate pu nishment for any species of offence, we should say there were others more worthy of that punishment than the de luded followers of Thom. We must again express our regret that the conduct of these people should be described by the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE a 3 murder. The Noble Lord, in his address to the criminals, marked out very distinctly that their offence was not murder, but resisting the law. He said " that many of the misguided men had fallen under the exertion of those who were called on to pro tect the law, and, in point of fact, they may be considered as having already p lid the forfeit of the law. Those men necessarily, and therefore lawfully put to death in the vindication of legal authority, may be taken, I think, as persons whom the law has already sacrificed." Here then was slaughter on both sides, and the sole difference betwixt the two cases is, that the soldiers acted under lawful authority, and the deluded fanatics acted under the unlawful authority assumed by THOM. That was their guilt. If that, then, were their offence, why, we ask, should their conduct be classed and de scribed as murder? When we consider how very careful are scientific men to distinguish one plant, or one stone from another, making a little difference of hardness, in a mineral as it may be scratched by the nail, or remain un scathed by the point of a knife—making the number of indentations in a leaf, or in the stamen, a sufficient reason for giving different names to minerals and plants, we cannot but complain of the gross and disgusting generalizations which are yet suffered to prevail in the law, and which class such different actions as those of GREENACRE and the followers of Moat, under the one name murder, and describe as totally different, the similar acts committed by them and the sol diers. How any man blundering on such an absurdity by the comparisons thrust on him, does not shrink aghast from carrying such a law into execution, astonishes us. Such conduct confounds all just distinctions—demoralizes the people—and makes the law appear a brutal and bloody instrument of mischief. We have this morning received further accounts from the Cape of Good Hope to the 10th of June. It would appear that the emigrant farmers near Port Natal, after a first defeat, had again attacked the enemy with a much larger force than had yet been opposed to him, and with success, so much so that DINGAAN had only five whole regiments left. The affair at Port Natal is given at some length in the Graham's Town Journal of May 31. That paper, after giving an account of the attack made upon DINGAAN on the llth April by a body of 400 mounted farmers, un der the command of PIET UYS (who was killed) and POT. GIEDER, and the ultimate retreat of emigrants, leaving at the lowest computation between 500 and GOO Zoolas dead on the field, says— _ _ " It appears that on the very day this severe action was fought, the Natal settlers, under the command of Mr. R. Biggar, marched from the Port to co.operate with the farmers. On the morning of the 17th they at length came in contact with the Zoola army, flushed with the vic tory, as they conceived it, which they had just before gained over the farmers. The Natal force, it is said, consisted of 800 men, 300 of whom were armed with guns, and supplied with powder and ball. The hostile forces immediately came to action, but with the details we are not furnished. The conflict, however, must have been most desperate and bloody, as the result was most disastrous. Two-thirds of the Natal settlers are said to have f..llen. Amongst them are thirteen Europeans: the names are—R. Biggar, J. Cane, J. Stubbs, C. Blanckenberg, R. Wood, W. Wood, H. Batts, W. Bottomley, J. Kemble, T. Carden, T. Russell, Lovedale, and J. Clarke. It is said that the Zoolas lost in this engagement three entire regiments of 1,000 men each. " Fortunately for the settlers, still at Natal, on the arrival of this disastrous intelligence, the brig Comet was still in the harbour, having been delayed by the illness of the master. Here they found refuge, and we understand that it is the intention of the Rev. Messrs. Owen avid Lindley to come round in her to the Colony, first touching at Dela goa Bay, whither she is bound. Since the defeat of the Natal settlers, 200 farmers have been lent to the Port for the protection of the place. " Previous to this, and shortly after the defeat of the Natal force, the Zoolers poured down upon the settlement at the Port. They remained then three days, wed swept it of evsry head of cattle. From the vessel in the harbour, those on board could perceive them marehing down the which it is said were black forseveral miles with their numbers. The native settlers had fled to the bush, and all the moveable property of value conveyed on board the brig. The houses at Natal had not been destroyed by the Zoolas, as they were deterred from approaching the shore by a shot occasionally discharged from the vessel. " The general opinion expressed in letters is, that the Zoola force and prowess have been greatly underrated. The farmers say that they fought in a far more determined manner than is customary with any of the native tribes with whom they are acquainted. " The concluding paragraph of a letter froni Buntingville, Amapon. daland, dated 11th May, is important. It is as follows:—` The bearers of the letters from Natal containing the foregoing intelligence, state that ` the army Dingaan sent out was entirely cut off. It consisted of seven regiments. Dingaan has now only live whole regiments left, and the farmers have got to the rear of the Zoola force, and have thus cut °flits retreat toward Dclagoa Bay.' It is also said that the emigrants have dispatched messengers along the line to the rear, calling spoil every man to march forward without a moment's delay." We are by no means surprised to find that the demand made by the French Government for the expulsion of Prince Lours NAPOLEON BONAPARTE from the Swiss territory, is indignantly denounced as an act of despotic aggression upon the freedom of an independent State, by the liberal portion of the French press. The cool and im pudent assurance of the Duke de Mosreeem.o, who, in his diplomatic note to the Council of Lucerne, scruples not to justify such a demand, on the plea of France owing it to herself to make it, can only be surpassed by his re ference to the " attempt of Strasburg," after the shame ful disclosures that have been made respecting the parts which his Royal Master and himself performed in that Machiavelian affair. After it has become known to all Europe that the Strasburg conspiracy was planned in Paris ; that the members of the Cabinet knew all about it long before a syllable of it was breathed to the Royal Exile ; that the KING concurred in the expediency of trying the effect of its development, even at the hazard of involvii g innocent men in the guilt of rebellion, and possibly of bloodshed ; that the money necessary for carrying it on was supplied by the Treasury—and all to involve in the crime of high treason, and to get possession of the 'person of Prince Lows NAPOLEON, the effrontery of the diplo matist who affects to dread the recurrence of such an out rage may well astonish the Swiss Vorort. The Duke d e Mos:am:m.o, or rather the Minister for Foreign Affair. , complains of the conduct of the Swiss Vorort, in suffering the exiled Prince to obtain a second time an asylum within the territory of the Republic. This complaint is as curious as it is unreasonable. The Prince violated the French charter by attempting to overturn the Monarchy of 1830. He f tiled, as he ought to do ; and the French Government by an act as unconstitutional a; his own, banished him without trial to the United States. His return was the result of no act, direct or indirect, of the Swiss Confe deracy ; neitherdid he, at his own personal hazard, attempt to revisit France. The French Government of its own accord, revoked the sentence of his banishment, that he might console by his presence a dying mother ; and h a vin g paid the last sad duties to her remains , he retired to that State in which for several years he bad found a safe asylum, and the laws of which he had never violated. Under these circumstances, the Swiss Government could not close its territory against him, without stooping to the meanness of actirrg as the servile instrument of the French Minister of Police. Having expiated by a temporary la nishment an offence purely political—an offence committed against a Government which claimed and punished him as a citizen—it was no part of the duty of Switzerland, or of any independent Power; however friendly to France, to refuse the Prince an asylum so long as he was wiiling to yield obedience to its general laws. The French Government complains that the Prince styles himself a Frenchman whenever he conceives the hope of disturbing the peace of his country, and a citizen of Thurgau when the Government of his country wishes to prevent the repetition of his criminal at tempts. We really cannot see what the Swiss Govern ment has to do with this question of abstract citizenship. The Prince and his family are for ever banished from tile soil of France. It can therefore matter very little to other States what claims of citizenship they set up, provided they obey the laws of the countries in which they may happen to be settled. What stress France herself lays upon the Prince's claim to be considered as a citizen of Thurgau is known to all who have paid the least attention to the trials consequent upon the Strasburg insurrecticn. Why not now continue to treat that claim with the same real or affected derision? A diplomatist who invokes the sanction of the law of nations, ought at least to know that the Swiss Vorort in declining to claim the Prince when seized for a political crime at Strasburg, and the French Government in proceeding against him on a charge of h'gh treason, effectually disposed of the disputed question of citizenship. When France had the Prince in her power she gave herself no concern whatever about the authen ticity of his Swiss credentials. Wherefore, then, this in suiting mockery about the prevention of the Prince from calling himself a Swiss when and where he pleases? But the worst is yet to come, The Duke de MONTE BELLO in his note says—" It is a notorious fact that Aren enberg (the residence of Prince Louis) is the centre of ma chinations which the KING'S Government has aright, and isin duty bound, to prohibit so near its frontier." Is then Prince Louis so very formidable? Does the King of the FRENCH ac tually dread an invasion of his territory by some twenty or thirty French Refugees, and as many Swiss Auxiliaries, headed by this hair-brained scion of the Impend Family ? It would appear so from his suffering his Representative thus to threaten the Vorort with hostilities in the event of a refusal. Now both the demand and the threat are clearly a violation of the law of nations. VATTEL, whom all French Diplomatists rank deservedly high as an authority upon the subject of international law, lays it down as a maxim (Book 1, ch. xix., sec. 228), " When the Society has excluded one of its members by a perpetual banish ment, he is only banished from the lands of that Society, and it cannot hinder him from living wherever else he pleases ; for after having once driven him out it can no longer claim any authority over him." The same author repudiates the diplomatic doctrine of France, that it was the duty of the Vorort to have punished Prince Louis by expulsion, for a political crime committed against the Majesty of Louis PHILIPPE. "If an exile, or banished man," says VATTEL, " has been driven from his country for any crime, it does not belong to the nation in which he has taken refuge to punish him for that fault committed in a foreign country. For Nature does not give to men or to nations any right to inflict punishment except for their own defence and safety ; whence it follows that we cannot punish any but those by whom we have been injured." This opinion, in nearly the same words, will be found in PrF FENDORFF (Book 8, ch. xi.), preceded by a declaration that nothing but the avoidance of a war between two States should induce the weaker to disturb an exile while obedient to the laws of the land of his adoption. In the discussion of a plain question, upon the merits of which every sensible man is capable of forming a sound opinion, we should not have referred to standard authori ties, were we not sensible that the French Government will bolster its justification upon some mangled extract from GROTIUS, and the works we have just quoted. The real object of the King of the FRENCH is less to compel the banishment of a dangerous citizen, than to trample upon the independence of the Vorort. He is merely play ing the game of Austria and Prussia. The affected dread of machinations of Louis BONAPARTE is a pretext too bunglinc , to deceive any person with two ideas in his head. Were he to enter France twenty times, he would never again be able to collect a dozen of followers, and no person knows better than does the Duke de MONTEBELLO, that had the French Cabinet not had more to do with the Strasburg rebellion than the silly-pated Prince who placed himself at the head of it, the chances are as fifty to one that the world would never have heard a syllable about it. To distract the attention of the French nation from a con sideration of the retrograde system of the Government at home, may be good policy on the part of the KING ; but we question whether England will do her duty if she calmly suffer any' violation of the rights of the Swiss Re public. States of the geographical and moral magnitude' of the Canton of Lucerne and the Mexican Republic are suited to the warlike genius of the ruler of modern France. There was a time when it was otherwise. The Paris Journals of Thursday are wholly taken up with discussing the questions of the expulsion of Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON from the Swiss territory, and the con duct of M. FABRICIUS in purchasing documents, sup posed to be purloined from the archives of the Foreign office. Some of them openly assert that the purchase of such documents was not confined to M. Flamm's, it be ing notorious that the three Great Northern Powers united with Holland in devoting one thousand francs each, monthly, for clandestinely procurinc , copies of certiin pipers lodged at the Foreign-office. For our own part we pay no regard whatever to such assertions, nor do we believe that any high minded diplomatist would stoop to the indignity of corrupting by brilics the civil servants of any friendly Power. As to the question of the expulsion (,f Prince Louts NAPOLEON, all thit we rare to say at present upon the subject will be found in a separate article in this day's Sun. The latest advices from Madrid are of the 2nd inst., but they do not bring a syllable of interesting intelligence. The following are extracts from the Paris Papers of Thursday : The following letter from Toulon, dated 4th of August, has been received:— " Admiral Lalancle having been informed off Tunis, by an English brig, that the Turkish fleet had quitted Constantinople, and having no news of the squadron of Admiral Gallois, proceeded to Tripoli, with the Jena (of the line), and the Latin brig. There he received a confirma tion of the news of the sailing of the Turkish fleet, and he was informed that it was expected in that port. The Admiral then sailed back to Tunis, leaving with the French Consul at Tunis, despatches for Admiral Gallois. Tie squadron of Admiral Gallois was seen under sail, by some merchantmen, near the Archipelago; the firing of cannon was heard, and it was imagined that there was an engagement between the French and Turkish squadrons ; but when those vessels were nearer they perceived that Admiral Gallois was only making the crews practice at the guns. " A steam-boat is preparing to depart with despatches for the two Admirals. The Caravane corvette will also sail in a few days with provisions for both squadrons." The Hanover Gazette says, in an article dated Frankfort, 3d August, that " the Committee appointed by the Diet of the German Confedera tion to consider of thedifferences relative to the Constitution of Hanover, is composed of the Envoys of Saxony, Bavaria, Hesse-Cassel, and Meek lenburg."—Le Commerce.

Jaw - Brussels and German Papers, the former of Thursday's date, have reached us this morning. Among other ex tracts from them, we have subjoined a letter, addressed by the Prince DE LIGNE, to the Courier Beige, which is ra ther a curiosity in its way : " Castle of Belceil, Aug. 6. " Monsieur the Editor—l read in your journal of the 4th an extract from the Amsterdam Ilandel , blal, which expresses itself in the follow. ing terms on the subject of the Belgian flag having been hoisted by the British stcarn.boat which brought me back to Antwerp ;---. In setting sail from London,' says the Handelsblad, the stearn.boat which bore the Prince de Ligne hoi,ted the Iklgian flag, but the Flushing pilot having observed that this flag was not admitted in Dutch waters, the flag was hauled down.' Phe fact is false. The Belgian flag never ceased to float on the steam-boat from the time it left London till it reached Antwerp. On the observation of the Flushing pilot, the Captain did, indeed, propose . to haul down the Belgian flag, and put up the British one ; but I replied that I would remain on deck, and under the flag, and would rather have the ship sunk than haul it down. Th elklgian colours thus did float within range of the guns at Flushing. As to my own banner at the mainmast, this is a recognised prerogative of Extraordinary Ambassadors. I was proud to have it floating by the side of the Belgian flag. The flag of De Ligne was not yielded even to that of Nassau.

HANISURtiII, AUGUST I. After the departure of the 400 Lutheran emigrants from Silc;ia, to South Australia, on board two ships, another body of them, consisting of 120 persons, has unexpectedly arrived here on hoard the Oder Bruges. They have applied to the agent of the South Australian Company here, to be sent by that Company in the same manner as those who preceded them, to that part of the globe. As soon as the Rev. Mr. Ravel, Lutheran Clergyman in London, shall have re cognised them as members of his community, for which purpose he has already been writt en atidtot,hecisieat emigrants api,licatoi s i ew, tobe a so cc u e t d h ed A t u o a b r y al t i tr . agent of the Company,The inhabitants of the Hinge of Bermbeck have offered to receive raid lodge those emigrants, who are not without resources, and who have lost two children on the way hither, till the arrival of the answer from London. They are thus much more comfortably ac commodated than on board the Bruges, where they were crowded together. This is an act of Christian charity exercised with the consent of the Magistrates, which needs no further commendation, and is equally honourable to all parties.

DUGALD STEWART.--011 Friday, the 3d August, 1838, the remains of Mrs. Dugald Stewart were consigned to the dust in the churchyard of the Canon ga t e, E d i nburgh. She died at the age of 72, have survived her husband, Professor Stewart, te n years. The friends of Mrs. Stewart, who l amen t t ier loss, are very numerous. She did much good in her time—probably as much as can be related of any one who lived the same number of years. She was fa. voured in her power of doing good by her situation in society. The wife of Dugald Stewart, a philosopher in the highest rank of literary reputation, she was looked up to with a respect inferior to none that was paid to Intellect, rank, or power. When she was in the zenith of her life, it may be doubted if a person departing from Scotland could have carried a stronger recommendation into the intellectual world of Eng land or America than a letter of introduction from Mrs. Dugald Stewart. She was the habitual and confidential companion of Dugald Stewart during his studies, and he never considered a piece of his composition to be finished until she had reviewed it. He himself said, that although she did not probably understand the abstract points of his philosophy so well as he did himself, yet when he had once made out a truth into an inteligilfie shape, she helped hint to illustrate it by a play of fancy and of feeling which could come only from a woman's mind. Her position in society, it has been said, was exceedingly fortunate. In spite of political differences, she sustained her influence in the northern metro polis when it was really dmetropolis of intellectual power. To the last she was remarkable for a winning gentleness of manner—a meekness more impressive than austerity—by which, during her whole life, she had ex ercised greater influence on those around her than others could do by. an assumption of dignity. Her last hours, nay, her last days and months, were serene and free from suffering.—Abridged from the Edin burgh Courant. HIGH WATER AT LON LION BRIDGE TO-MORROW.

CHANCERY-COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The Loan CHANCELLOR sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall to-day, for the purpose of hearing the conclusion of the arguments in a part.heard mo tion, notwithstanding yesterday was the day appointed for the rising of the Court for the long vacation. CHAPMAN V. TilE BRIDGEWATER CANAL COMPANY The arguments in this part. heard motion were resumed to.day. The case came before the Court upon an appeal motion from the order of the Vice-Chancellor, granting an injunction restraining the defendants, the Bridgewater Canal Company, from proceeding with certain works for the construction of a branch of their canal across the lands of the plaintiff: It appeared from the statements of Mr. Wigram, with whom Mr. Piggot appeared in behalf of the appellants, that the plaintiff was the owner of several acres of land, through which the defendants proposed to carry a branch of their canal. The Company had offered the plaintiff the sum of 360/. for the purchase of two acres of the land; but, in consequence of the refusal of the latter to receive that sum, a jury had been sum. moned to assess the damage and the value of the land iequired. That tribunal determined that the latter was worth 9.69/., and they also added to that, 360/. for prospective damage. The defendant did not object to the valuation of the ground, but they had refused to pay for prospective damage. The plaintiff then filed his Bill for an injunction to restrain the works of the defendants ; and, upon the matter coming on before the Vice-Chancellor, his Honour granted the injunction, on the ground that the defendants had committed a breach of contract. The SOLICITOU-GENERAI, who was partly heard yesterday, proceeded with his arguments to-day in support of the judgment of the Court below, but had not concluded when our reporter left.

Our enterprising Contemporary, Mr. Murdo Young of The Sun, has founded an era in Newspaper printing. With the " Golden Sun," containing within its illuminated limits, an exquisitely executed portrait engraving of our lovely Queen, the country, we may, we believe, add the European Continent, is already familiar. BA resplendent as is that specimen of art and genius, the " Soult and Wel lington Sun," which issued from the press on . Saturday last, bids fair to eclipse it, and to challenge as wide, if not a more extended, circulation. This magnificent production, shadowing forth striking likenesses, executed in the boldest style of the difficult art of medallion engraving, is a curiosity in its way ; and reflects the greatest credit on our -distin guished Contemporary. To enhance its value there are many gems of appropriate poetry from the pen of Mr. Young.— IVatedbrd Chronicle. The Extraordinary Sun," containing medallion por traits of the Duke of Wellington and Marshal Soult, is at length in the hands of the public. It fully realizes all that we could have anticipated from Mr. Young's spirited efforts in the " Coronation Sun," and is a production of unequalled beauty and talent.—Western Times. PRICE OF SUGAR. EFFECTS OF THE BOUNTY. Table showing the ex.duty price of West India Sugar in Mincing. lane, and comparing the same against the price of foreign sugars : London, Aug. 10, 1838. The Gazette this day quotes the average price of British Per cwt. Plantation Muscovado Sugar, exclusive of duty, at 3ls. 4id. Muscovado Sugars from the Manilla—which are frequently bought to be relined in Holland, and to be resold in the River Thames—in competition with British refined Sugars for exportation—may be. bought at from 21s. to 225. 6d. per cwt., being about 9s. per cwt, cheaper than West India Sugars. Refined Sugar, equal in quality to double refined (the mann. facture costing ss. per cwt.) has been sold this week (free on board) at Deducting shipping charges 2s. 2d. 325. 4d. which is 114 d. per cwt dearer than the Muscovado sugar from which it is made, being a loss to the sugar refiner of 4s. per cwt., which the bounty on exportation reim. burses him. British treacle is worth 9s. per cwt. in the foreign markets. The same has been sold this week in London at 255. per cwt., being an excess of price paid bytthe British consumer of I (is. 6d. per cwt., in other words 16s. 6d. per cwt. on treacle paid by the poor man towards bounty. British Plantation Coffee has been sold since Tuesday at 565. per cwt. more than the same would have commanded had it been the pro duce of St. Domingo, namely, Jamaica, at from 98s. to 1325. per cwt. Queen ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. The operatic melodrame of The Slave has been produced at this house with great effect. Mr. Cooper's Gambia is the best we remember to have seen. His enunciation was good, his attitudes graceful, his cos. tume correct, and his personation of the generous, magnanimous Slave in every respect what we could wish. Colonel Lindenburgh, a difficult and uphill character though it be, was exceedingly well played by Hal_ ford. In his last scene he exhibited a degree of impassioned pathos, remorse, and manly feeling, which bears us out in the opinion we have always entertained of him—that he is fitted to sustain a range of cha racters far more lofty than any which he has hitherto filled at this house. Baker was exceedingly good in Sam Sharpset ; in fact, we never before saw him to such advantage; and we have no doubt, from the present performance, that he is eminently fitted for the performance of genteel comedy. We must not forget Madame Simon, who, in the costume and personation of Miss Von Fromp, exhibited good taste and judgment. The scenery exhibited in the piece was very beautiful and appropriate; the costume, in general, correct; and the music delightful. The spirited little piece of M.P. for the Rotten Borough" still keeps up its interest, or rather improves In public opi nion. Compton and Miss Poole, as Jerry and Margaret Chance, were truly excellent, and kept the audience in convulsions of laughter during the whole of their performance. The house was well filled in every part. - The extensive preparations making for the production of a magnificent operatic spectacle, entitled The Devil's Opera, render it necessary to close the theatre this evening, it being determined that a final and grabd rehearsal shall ensure success for it—at least so far as the music and vast machinery are concerned. Report speaks most favourably of the music, the plot, and the incidents, the latter being of that terrific kind of diablerie and harrowing interest, for which Lewis's Monk, Der Frei. schutz, et hoc genus omne, are so famous. Several hundred pounds have been already expended on this piece, and we sincerely hope that the public patronage of this Theatre will soon repay the spirited exer. tioni of the managing Committee.

Yd. on the spot, and to arrive 465. 6d., and the market quiet; but prices are uncertain, owing to the extremely small stock. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE COLONIAL MARKETS DURING THE WEEK, There has been a fair business done in produce during this week, particularly in Coffee of various descriptions. The week has been marked by a great uniformity in prices with those of last week. In Sugar, Coffee, Tea, Spices, Rum, Cocoa, Indigo, or Cotton, there is no variation whatever In value. Rice is the only article which has varied its price, and it is higher. The imports have been light; the exports very much so; but the deliveries have been considerable. There is not much business advertised for next week. PRICE OF l'he highest price of Bread in the 1 flood Bread may be had at St4d, BREAD. Metropolis is lad. for the 411). Loaf.
